Server Update: Raidable Bases
Published (July 13, 2026 at 12:38 GMT+2 server time)

Hello, HWS Community.
I have just updated both the HWS Rust servers, so they now have the Raidable Bases plugin. This means that NPC-controlled bases can be found around the map, in varying difficulties, which you can freely raid to get some nice loot from. These bases clearly stand out, as they have large gray spheres around them, so be careful before approaching, as there are NPCs patrolling inside.
Inside the raidable base spheres, it should be PvP, so players can kill each others inside.
It's a relatively big change, so I may have to adjust it a bit on the run.
Beyond that, this update also improves the PvE system, so things like your animals, vehicles, personal airdrops, and so on, are all protected during the PvE periods. So when you drop a supply signal, the airdrop will be reserved for you. Server-triggered airdrops are first-come-first-serve.
Also, just as a heads-up. A few things will be removed from your OCD on the full wipe on August 6th, so I recommend taking them out and using the space for something else. These items are: Ballistic helmet, Chainsaws, and Jackhammers.
